The Power of Gratitude and the Wisdom of Tradition: From Morning Rituals to Relationship Insights

The Living in Clarity Podcast, w/Coach Ratner

Let me know your thoughts about the podcast. Thank you for listening!

Ever wondered how a simple 'thank you' can revolutionize your life? Coach Ratner here, and I'm thrilled to bring you an episode with the remarkable Corey Drucker, where we unveil the transformative power of gratitude and clarity. Together, we weave through our morning rituals, highlighting the psychological perks of starting the day with a positive stride. We reflect on the magic tucked into the ordinary – from the joyous bustle of family life to the often ignored marvels of our own bodies. Corey and I also offer a sneak peek into the art of preparation, sharing how a little nightly foresight sets the stage for a day steeped in focus and appreciation.
As our conversation meanders through the terrain of tradition and modernity, we pause to consider the profound impact of commercialization on sacred times, particularly Thanksgiving and the encroaching Black Friday frenzy. We juxtapose Abraham Lincoln's vision of a day for thankfulness with today's consumer-driven holidays, sparking a segue into the timeless teachings from the Jewish path to wisdom. Corey and I draw parallels between life's complexities and a child's learning process, musing on the shape of experiences and how they fit into the larger puzzle of our existence.
Closing on a note of reverence for relationship wisdom, we delve into the essence of successful partnerships through the lens of Torah teachings. Highlighting the significance of spiritual milestones and the bris ceremony, we explore the intersections of ancient customs and contemporary understanding. With anticipation, I share tidbits from my forthcoming book "Infinite Marriage," alluding to the richness of continuous growth within relationships. Join us as we journey through a tapestry of thought-provoking discussions, celebrating the heartwarming connection between life's rituals and the clarity that comes from living with gratitude.
